Hello! I’m Gail J Weissert, LCSW-C, DCSW
Individual, Family, Couples and Hypnotherapy
I bring to your life over thirty years’ postgraduate experience in varied settings and with many populations. My greatest joy in life is to see my clients make strides through crisis and beyond – to coping better, feeling better, and with a new understanding and skill set. My training and experience are in a variety of modalities, from cognitive behavioral therapy to behavior modification, to family systems therapy, to hypnotherapy and energy psychology strategies.
My Expertise
Expert in Managing Stress, Anxiety, and Depression
With years of experience, I help individuals understand and control their body’s response to stress, easing anxiety and improving emotional well-being.
Through personalized therapy, I guide you toward a calmer mind, helping you reframe negative thoughts and regain control of your life.
My Approach
I take a holistic view, considering each person’s individual experiences within the context of their relationship. We’ll start by meeting together to discuss the history of your relationship and the issues you’re currently facing. Then, I meet with each partner individually to better understand your unique background, perspective, and needs.
During this process, I also assess for any underlying issues such as trauma, emotional dysregulation, or addictions that could be contributing to relationship difficulties. Addressing these deeper concerns often helps resolve surface-level issues like arguments or a lack of communication.
Once we’ve identified and cleared these obstacles, we can focus on rebuilding your connection. This might involve learning active listening skills, setting aside time to reconnect, or developing a deeper understanding of yourself and your partner.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do You Offer Telehealth Counseling?
Yes. I am now offering mental health counseling services via telehealth, which means over the phone (landline), cellphone, (including face-to-face), and also over a HIPAA approved, secure platform, which will work over computer or smartphone as well. Learn more here.
How Much Does A Session Cost?
Privately paying offers some benefits, such as that an insurance company or other entity is less likely to obtain access to any information about you. I charge the average rate, which is $195.00 for an initial intake assessment session, $135 per session thereafter for individuals, or $145 per session hour for couples.
I am empaneled with most insurance companies and with a number of Employee Assistance programs. Thus, what you will pay depends upon your situation. EAPs often pay for a very limited number of sessions, 1-6 typically, and there is no out of pocket cost to the client. If you use your health insurance, you may pay about $15.00 up to about $40.00 copayment for each session.
A few insurances do not have copays at all. You can find out how yours works by calling the number on the back of you insurance card under “Mental Health Benefits”, or under “Customer Care”.Your health insurance company’s website may also explain your benefits to you.

What Happens In The First Session?
How Many Sessions Are Necessary?
I always review with my client when they feel that they are doing better, or when they have reached their hoped-for objective. Sometimes, my clients opt to move forward on working on another issue or try out the use of some other modality.
